Hello guys

I am new on the forum and not a vintage Breitling expert at all

I am looking for a Top Time 810 Black dial and found the one below on Chrono24.

http://www.chrono24.fr/breitling/top-time--id3790521.htm

At first glance, looks great to me (both case and movement) but I would like your help on this one (and any other suggestion you might have) to check whether it does not look like fake/franken to you guys
Does anyone know the seller?

Thanks a lot in advance
Best

MF

looks good except the bottom pusher is an (incorrect) replacement

Renè forgot to mention the incorrect hands .....
should be white for the reverse panda exe1 case w/ transitional dial.
can be "corrected", but needs to be done.

Thanks a lot for the replies, appreciated

Quick question on aftermarket, are there a lot of replacement pieces (e.g. pusher or hands) for this model?
And other question, in the event of a problem with the Venus 178, as I understand it is a very common movement that can be fixed by a number of people, do you confirm?

Happy to discuss any interesting alternative you think might be worth looking (other go to sellers) as I am a new in the vintage Breitling space

Thanks a lot again for your help

these reverse panda 810 are becoming VERY hard to find.
message member Dracha, he might have a source.

pushers are relatively easy, hands quite hard to find typically, but any competent watchmaker will be able to acceptably paint the hands on this one.

yes, quite a number of watchmakers work on the 175/178, as long as no rare parts are needed.
